  • Great Podcast

    I was on Mike’s podcast back in November of 2024 to talk about my children’s book, Paulie Finds His Forever Home. Talking about keeping pets safe and shelter animals was so much fun. Mike is a wonderful person and I enjoyed my time on his podcast.

  • Nurse Here

    I love the representation of all type of people and all different occupations. As a fellow nurse, this one was relatable!! I’ve been feeling worn down and near burnt out. It’s really awesome to hear that there is a nurse out there coaching other nurses to help them feel seen and witnesses. I loved this one.

  • What We Choose Matters

    This one hit home. It’s easy to get caught up in all the noise and division, but this podcast brings it back to what actually matters, connection, compassion, and choosing kindness. Not in some fluffy way, but in the real-life, everyday choices kind of way. One person. One moment. One kind act at a time. That’s how we change a world. I love how this show reminds us that kindness isn’t weakness, it’s power. Quiet, steady, and contagious. Worth the listen.

  • Refreshing

    There’s so much out there, entertainment-wise, and most of it focuses on the negatives. Mike focuses on what’s uplifting, and it’s such a welcome change of pace. Feed your soul something nutritious now and then!
